What would you add to this buffet?

So after a roast lunch I will be doing a buffet. What else could I add to this list that doesn’t involve cooking or fuss?

Crackers and cheese, grapes, veg sticks, hummus and dips, bread sticks, smoked salmon, crisps, nuts and olives. Anything else I’m missing?

Cold cuts from the roast? Pickles & chutneys?

Salads - green, coleslaw, potato etc

Don’t really want to have to faff with potato... will have a load of veg with the roast (I do at least 3 types plus potatoes) would I still need a salad?

I forgot I had meats, salami, pastrami!

We will be having roast chicken so won’t have that for the buffet..

You have chutney with cheese - something like caramelised red onion would be good

I would do blinis and cream cheese mixed with horseradish to go with the salmon. Always a big hit here!

Blinis are little pancakes - you are thinking of Bellini cocktails

Have a look here www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/765634/garden-leaves-with-smoked-salmon-and-cheats-blinis

FYI goat is still dairy - however some people with a dairy intolerance or who struggle with cow's milk are able to manage to goat (or sheep) dairy as it can be easier to digest

Thanks will look at that link. Yes definitely dairy intolerant not goat. That’s my dad and he can have goats so that’s ok!

I'm not sure pineapple goes very well with goats cheese - maybe cherry tomatoes or dates?

I'd put out the fruit bowl and add 2 of pate, pork pies, sausage rolls, cocktail sausages and some good bread

Leftover pigs in blankets? Green salad & coleslaw, pickles/chutneys & maybe a pork pie.

If you want something green and easy, do pasta and pesto. Chuck in some sweetcorn and you're sorted!
